Re: System/36 Sort Reference manual

It's the "almost" part that's the problem. I have to convert some old
#GSORT code, and I need the layout of the old S/36 sort specs (every
column of the H, I, and F specs) to determine exactly what the sort is
doing. FMTDTA's specs are similar but there are some differences.

I can't seem to find the information anywhere. I am going nuts or did I
just have the layout memorized 20 years ago? Does anyone still have the
old System/36 Sort manual? Does it even exist, or was the information in
another manual?
